A 2002 graduate of Westhill, Stein spent three years as a coxwain for the Dartmourth women's team and served as the cox for the men's lightweight team during her junior year.

Stein is the only new member of the crew, which finished sixth at last year's world championships.

On Sunday, the lightweight men’s double sculls team of Rowayton's Brian de Regt and New Haven's Jon Winter advanced to the quarterfinals.

The pair held second right off of the start and finished in 6:29.25 behind Italy, which measured a 6:24.25. With the top three boats moving on, de Regt and Winter will race next on Wednesday.

New Canaan's Andrew Campbell won his heat Sunday in the lightweight men's sculls to advance to the semifinals.

The 19-year-old Campbell, who will be a sophomore at Harvard, crossed the finish line just ahead of Italy’s Pietro Ruta. That allowed him to move on to Thursday's semifinals and spared him from having to row an extra race.

In the final strokes of his sprint, Campbell pushed his bow in front of the Italian sculler in lane two and finished first with a time of 7:04.01 to Ruta’s 7:04.31.

The men’s four crew of New Canaan's Charlie Cole, Scott Gault (Piedmont, Calif.), Brett Newlin (Riverton, Wyo.) and Giuseppe Lanzone (Annandale, Va.) did not qualify from its heat, but put in a good fight to the line against winner Belarus.

The U.S. crew chased Belarus the length of the course, made a desperate push in the last 100 meters and fell 0.02 off the mark with a time of 6:50.96 to 6:50.98. They will row again on Wednesday
